It’s a good debate, Jamal Charles or Arian Foster, Rodgers or Brady. All were difference makers on the field. But like a lot of awards, sometimes it’s what was expected of you or your team going into the season vs. what actually happened. Did Brady do more with less of a WR corp than Rodgers ? Probably. But Brady had something of a running game instead of every play being on his shoulders like Rodgers. Being a Texans fan I can say that I’m fine with Jamal Charles winning the award. He was the true difference maker on that team. Yeah, Bowe lit it up for several weeks mid-season but Charles was electric. Not to take anything away from Arian Foster. He was consistently very good all year long. But KC had the #1 running offense in the NFL, Houston was 7th.

FedEx Ground should have gone to Arian Foster. You know…the rushing leader of 2010. The guy who was also #1 for all-purpose yards. Way to go fans on blowing this one!

I’m more impressed with Jamal Charles’ yards per carry.

but Aaron took his team to the Super Bowl…Brady did not

If this award takes into account the post season, then I say it’s close between Rogers and Brady. But Brady literally had one of he best seasons of all time.

From wiki: Brady’s 9:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio (36:4) would break his own single-season record of 6.25:1, which he set in 2007. No other quarterback in NFL history has had a 6:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio for a season.

They are regular season awards, and no one had a better year at QB than Tom Brady.

Thu, 03 Feb 2011 00:52:18 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=108919#comment-947474I always find numbers like you listed for Rodgers’ TD-INT ratio funny. A 13:3 TD to INT ratio? That’s not a ratio, it’s just the number of touchdowns and interceptions that he’s thrown. If he threw for 15 TD’s and 3 INTS then calling it a 5:1 ratio is fine by me, buy why waste calling it a ratio when it’s really just his stats?

A ratio is just a comparison of two different things. It’s a perfectly valid use of the term.

The community of PFT would like to let you know that it’s time to step back from the keyboard and log off for a while. Your constant whiffs are beginning to become a distraction.

Thanks in advance.

The NFL is fantasy football, Evan.

No way Charles would last with a heavy workload.
